Abstract At the present time, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has swiftly evolved and emerged, and picture data that is collected by terminal devices or IoT nodes are tied to the user's private data. The use of image sensors as an automation tool for the IIoT is increasingly becoming more common. Due to the fact that this organisation transfers an enormous number of photographs at any one time, one of the most significant issues that it has is reducing the total quantity of data that is sent and, as a result, the available bandwidth, without compromising the image quality.

Abstract The present work presents a statistical method to translate human voices across age groups, based on commonalities in voices of blood relations. The age-translated voices have been naturalized extracting the blood relation features e.g., pitch, duration, energy, using Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC), for social compatibility of the voice-impaired. The system has been demonstrated using standard English and an Indian language. The voice samples for resynthesis were derived from 12 families, with member ages ranging from 8–80 years. The voice-age translation, performed using the Pitch synchronous overlap and add (PSOLA) approach, by modulation of extracted voice features, was validated by… More >
